Canada and the States Recollections 1851 to 1886 is a memoir written by Edward William Watkin, a British railway entrepreneur and politician. The book covers the period of his life when he was heavily involved in the development of the Canadian and American railway systems. Watkin's recollections provide a unique perspective on the political and economic climate of the time, as well as the challenges and triumphs of building a transcontinental railway. The book also details Watkin's personal experiences, including his interactions with notable figures such as Abraham Lincoln and John A. Macdonald. Overall, Canada and the States Recollections 1851 to 1886 is a fascinating historical account of the growth and development of North America's railway infrastructure during the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
